Below are quick links to
the home pages (in alphabetical order) for over 300 journalsthat publish papers of
interest to vertebrate paleontologists of all specialties. Note that
some home pages contain the tables of contents directly, but others
provide links to the relevant sites. Some journals have additional sites
via their publishers from which full-text articles can frequently be
accessed; these links are also provided. A list of journals
that publish papers but either do not have web sites or have
sites but do provide (free) web access to tables of contents or
articles may be accessed here . (I
have removed all diacritical marks from any titles so that anyone
searching for a title via a web search engine will be more easily
directed to this page. This is not intended as a disrespect for
any language, but as a means to direct traffic to the web sites for
those publications.

Please note that I have not included journals that only very rarely
publish vertebrate paleontology papers (such as American
Naturalist and many medical journals).

Some
journals shift web sites periodically, becoming temporarily
unavailable. I have marked these journals below with a large,
red X.
If they are offline for an extended period, I'll move them to
the list of sites with no web pages. If you have any
information about the fate of these journals and their web sites,
please e-mail me!

For more extensive information about all these (and any other)
journals, please try PubList.
Also, BIOSIS has recently initiated the journal portal BiologyBrowser.

Many organizations that are relevant to vertebrate
paleontologists produce newsletters or other publications aimed at a
more general audience. These informal publications do not
usually contain peer-reviewed, scientific articles, but do contain
information useful to members of the vertebrate paleontological
community and avid amateurs, including news about current
research. Click on the links below to view some of these
publications.

Many North American doctoral
dissertations are available for sale via ProQuest.

Many theses and dissertations from students in the
university system in Ohio can be downloaded from OhioLINK ETD Service.

Theses
Canada is a source for locating theses and dissertations from
Canadian universities, but all purchasing is done via ProQuest, as
above.

The Center for Research Libraries Foreign Doctoral
Dissertations Database holds over 750,000 dissertations from the
U.K., France, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, and more,
though at present it appears that only 12,000 have been cataloged. If
you don't find what you want in their database, e-mail them to inquire
about as-yet uncataloged holding.

The British Thesis Service makes available copies of
theses and dissertations from Great Britain and Ireland. You can search
for specific documents here.

You can search French disseretations via ABES-SUDOC (make sure you un-check all options
under "Type of Publication" except dissertations).

The titles and authors of a few
German paleontological dissertations may be viewed via the Universitats- und Landesbibliothek Dusseldorf
by typing in some appropriate author, title- or keywords
(Titelstichwort/Schlagwort). Copies are available by e-mailing
the librarian; costs appear to be around $0.20 per page (I don't know
if this includes shipping).

Also try the following book
search engines, which search large, global networks of used
booksellers simultaneously -- I've had great results with all of
them. But get your checkbooks ready -- most of the older stuff
isn't cheap! Allbooks.com searches several new and used book
search systems simultaneously; it can even find monographs if
they're available!
